Or, they actually support the invasion, which is valid as well. I may not agree, but I think everyone can express support for any position. The only position that is invalid is censorship/suppression/thought control, because it cuts off communication.

No, it would not be prudent. In fact, "permanently cutting off" an individual from "the west" just because they support something you don't agree with sets a very dangerous precedent and is many times worse than any war. It's screwed up that you're even suggesting this.

> I’d actually see early crypto news as a local interest but local meaning a technical niche instead of geographical.

Interesting point, I had not considered that. Locality not just in the geographical sense.

> I still think 99% of major daily headlines won’t affect your daily life.

I agree for the majority of people in other countries. In my case, I live in a developing country with >50% annual inflation. Sometimes headlines here really affect your life, like the govt suddenly prohibiting importing US dollars (e.g., if you work remotely), or requiring 1/3 women to form a LLC so I can't open a business with a male friend when I could yesterday. And this is clearly just following trends from USA/Europe. There are countless other examples.

I'd agree, though, not that these are not strictly "international" news but not local either.

I used to think that. Then I realized that during the last 5-10 years, international developments have impacted my life far more than what's happening in my neighborhood/municipality. Remote working, covid restrictions, crypto, etc. What happens in the world ends up knocking on your door sooner or later.

With Namecheap? Absolutely, I won't trust them with my domains ever again. Today is X reason, tomorrow is Y.

It's the exact same for me. It's like at eight hours exactly something "clicks" and you're fresh, but anything before that is a weird uncompleted process where I feel like garbage all day yet I can't go back to sleep. I can even feel the weight of my eye bags. Then, I take a short (20 min) nap at some point in the day and I'm completely recovered.

It's frustrating because just 15 more minutes would have prevented all that suffering.

Oh I know, but I wasn't talking about the guidelines, just pointing out that a funny take doesn't make something less true, and undermines an important point. Also, I think snark and sarcasm should be allowed even towards other posters. It's healthier.

Yup, there's nothing wrong with it. Crying about it just an effective way to shut down dissent.

Their point is that the invation is for a reason. Whether you agree or not, a lame snarky sacarastic comment doesn't change that.

Sure, you're free to fight for what you feel is right. In the meantime I transfered out 25 domains. I hope you cover those for me!

That's the point. It's not my problem ;)

I'm not sure what you're seeing since everything I've seen everywhere (even in my fucking domain registrar!) is a pro-Ukraine/anti-Russia narrative pushed everywhere. Everywhere. So if there's disinformation, it follows that it's from Western media.

As I've said, I'm not russian.

Unfortunately, that is not the customer's problem. But yes, Namecheap has every right to irreversibly damage their brand, of course.

Exactly, thank you for pointing that out.

I don't care about this war, and all I get from this is that this domain registrar could block me with no notice for an abitrary reason. They (Namecheap) can do whatever they want, but I'll be actively working to deter people from using it.

Not Russian (I'm from Argentina), but I'll move all of my domains right away. This is absolutely nuts. I do not care about this war at all, but more importantly, I won't be keeping my domains in a registrar that arbitrarily cuts down on customers from being from a particular country.

How anyone would support this is beyond me. New world order virtue signalling at it fullest.
